Not from Go but from Gomoku, and there is not capture Go.

I play locally and on panda net and KGS online. A difficult game to
master but real easy to start learning, pure strategy as chess is, no
luck involved.

It is an open source version of Gomoku; the commerical versioin was
Pente. Pente was marketed with a heavy vinyl board, glass stones in
bright colors and a Greek theme (hence the name).

"Capture Go" is also called "Atari Go" and it is a training exercise
usually played on smaller boards (9x9, 13x13). It teaches you form
living groups. But I don't know if anyone marketed it as a
commercial game. There are on-line sites if you want to play against
a computer. Try http://www.361points.com.
